Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Li Si really didn't expect that Qin Mo would agree so readily, and said that he was quite ashamed for cheating him unintentionally.

This made him happy, and he finally realized that he had been planning and scheming all along, and wanted to sit on the position of prime minister who was under one person and above ten thousand people.

But Qin Mo, the young prime minister, didn't seem to take himself seriously at all, or he didn't regard him as a threat from the beginning to the end.

Because people themselves do not love the position of prime minister!
Even, if you think about it carefully, if you don't make any crooked ideas and take the initiative to provoke Qin Mo, the young prime minister's usual attitude towards him...seems...seems...respectful?

Do you respect me?
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help being suspicious.

But subconsciously, but also feeling very honored, to be respected by the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, the military master, and the king of a country, it is really enough to tell the truth!

"I don't know why Prime Minister Qin taught me?"

Li Si gave up his messy thoughts, and asked without waiting to enter the mansion to talk nonsense.

Today, I went to the West Market and looked for Han Fei again. It was already dusk. If I didn't hurry up, what would I do with Ying Zheng tomorrow?

Fusu held a stack of manuscripts in his arms, and originally planned to leave, but seeing Li Si's eagerness, he was not in a hurry to leave, and helped to discuss the details: "The Shuanggui method that Qin Xiangjin presented every day is very simple, and the shortcomings should be addressed. It's too much, Li Tingwei can perfect it..."

Li Si heard the words, and immediately answered: "The princes of Tingwei Mansion are perfecting it!"

But he was afraid that Qin Mo would follow the idea of ​​Fusu and use the perfect Shuanggui method to deal with him.

Again.

The officials of Tingwei's Mansion can pick up Qin Moyahui's assignments.

He is a majestic court lieutenant, the chief of the Supreme Court of the Qin Dynasty, but he must have his own opinions!
Qin Mo smacked his lips and pondered for a while, and said, "There is a saying that you need to be strong to strike an iron. The Yushi and the Jinyiwei have double regulations, so they can let go of their hands and feet, and can also prevent dirty officials and evil gentry from fleeing."

"But... what about Yu Shi and Jin Yiwei himself?"

Li Si has been pondering over these things recently, while giving power and responsibility to Yushi and Jinyiwei, he must also limit their power, so he said without hesitation: "Let the officials and the common people supervise them in turn, and if they violate the law, report to the court captain government to deal with."

"This is also a way...but..."

Qin Mo nodded first, but then changed the topic, saying: "Your Majesty will soon promulgate the official evaluation method, Jieshi Yushi and Jin Yiwei have more power."

"What if the officials win over and collude with them?"

"After all, Yu Shi and Jin Yiwei are also members of the officialdom!"

"Especially the censors, they are officials themselves, maybe they are still monitoring other officials today, but tomorrow they may not, so for various reasons, they will be transferred to become ruling officials and be supervised by their former colleagues."

"The opposite is the same. If you are still the target of monitoring today, and become the censor tomorrow, you will go to monitor your former colleagues."

"It's Jin Yiwei, although His Majesty has drawn them from the army, but their life and death robes in the army may turn into ruling officials at any time, including themselves, and may also turn into ruling officials at any time due to various reasons..."

"In this way, how can we guarantee that Yu Shi and Jin Yiwei will not collude with their former colleagues or robes, and even seek power and profit for each other?"

Li Si was questioned.

Fusu was also stunned.

The two looked at each other, confused by Qin Mo's question, not knowing how to answer it.

In fact, this issue is not complicated, and the sages have also expounded their views on it.

For example, Confucius, he advocated concealment between relatives!
Could it be that Confucius didn't know the correctness of exterminating relatives?
Now that we know the correctness of killing relatives in righteousness, why should we advocate concealment between relatives?
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the fact that relatives hide from each other, it is human nature, and it is also a universal morality and value!

The Legalists hated this deeply, so in the Qin Law enacted by Shang Yang, there were the Law of Liaison and the Law of Prosecution.

If one person breaks the law, relatives will be together, and if one family breaks the law, relatives will be together.

On the contrary, as long as you kill relatives righteously and report in time, you will not only be innocent but also rewarded.

So, will you still hide from each other?
The answer is, yes!
When it's time to hide from each other, you will still hide, otherwise there will be many dirty officials and evil gentry?
And this mutual intimacy extends to the officialdom, that is, a nest of snakes and rats form cliques for selfish interests. If you want to curb it, you can only formulate corresponding laws or systems to prevent it from happening!

"What Qin Xiang means is that those who serve as Yushi and Jinyiwei cannot hold other official positions?"

"Could it be that Prime Minister Qin wants Yu Shi and Jin Yiwei to be completely independent from the imperial court?"

After Fusu and Li Si were silent for a while, they seemed to have some understanding, and each spoke.

Qin Mo nodded: "Of course, what you said is correct... the selection and appointment of Yushi and Jinyiwei should be completely independent of the court, so as to prevent snakes and rats from forming cliques for personal gain."

"In addition, the censor himself is on the bright side. It is more convenient to investigate the officials and gentry in an open and honest manner than Jin Yiwei, so it can be changed to inspect the censor and investigate the world in rotation."

"In this way, the censor, who rotates and patrols openly, and the Jinyiwei, who are spying in the dark, can complement each other and supervise each other..."

"For...while the officials and the common people supervise the Yushi and Jinyiwei in reverse, the Yushi and Jinyiwei must also supervise each other. If the Yushi is guilty, he will be dealt with by the Jinyiwei, and if the Jinyiwei is guilty, he will be dealt with by the Yushi..."

"In this way, the Tingwei Mansion doesn't need to intervene, and the censor and Jinyiwei are supervised and disposed of. Otherwise, after a long time, they will become the top officials of the two families invisibly. Doing business at home, it will even form a restraint on the two families...Besides the two independent imperial courts, it becomes empty talk..."

What Qin Mo said is actually the anti-corruption and anti-corruption mechanism of later generations, both Chinese and Western, both inside and outside, so he can say whatever comes to mind.

Among them, even the famous ICAC mechanism is included, which can be called a hodgepodge!

Including his so-called double regulations before, everyone who knows a little bit understands, it is our own set of dealing with tigers and flies...

After a long while, Qin Mo finally hollowed out the anti-corruption and anti-corruption mechanism he knew, and finally said: "Only when these foundations are laid, the Shuanggui Law can be effectively implemented. Otherwise, no matter how good and perfect the Shuanggui Law is, it will not play much role!"

Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard it, and at some point he had already taken out the charcoal pencil and paper booklet, and was brushing down the key points Qin Mo said.

After Qin Mo stopped talking, he finally stopped recording, bowed his hands generously and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Qin, for your teaching, I am very grateful!"

With these methods, he only needs to integrate and modify a little, and he will be able to explain to Ying Zheng tomorrow morning.

Unable to say, I have to show my face and be able to compete for one of the five phases after the reform of the central official position!

Qin Mo bowed his hand in return, looked at the already dark sky, and said, "I won't keep Li Tingwei for dinner, I'd better go home early and prepare for tomorrow's court meeting."

"That's exactly what it should be... Thank you, Prime Minister Qin, for your enlightenment!"

Li Si bowed his hands again, and then bowed to Fusu: "I bid farewell."

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse impatiently and galloped towards Tingwei's mansion.

Fu Su bowed his hand to send Li Si to ride his horse away, then turned his eyes away, looked at Qin Mo and said hesitantly: "Qin Xiang is really full of wonders, Fu Su admires it~!"

Qin Mo waved his hands modestly, thinking secretly in his heart, Qisi a hammer, Qisi, I'm just picking up people's teeth.

"It's getting dark, His Royal Highness, don't rush to leave, it's not too late to leave after dinner."

"Enen, that's exactly what I meant. I didn't dare to eat those sweet soups before my father was here. I must have a good one today..."

The two monarchs and ministers were talking, then turned their heads and entered the mansion.

……

……

The next day, the Great Court Meeting at the beginning of the month.

Before dawn, civil and military officials had already gathered in front of the palace gate, waiting for the gate to open to enter.

Tread-tap-

call-

The sound of horseshoes came, and a horse rushed to meet the morning light. All civil and military officials turned their heads to look, but they were all dumbfounded.

Because that incompetent young Prime Minister of Great Qin actually came to the early court for an unprecedented time.

This is a rare and rare event!

One must know that since Qin Mo was bestowed the title of Lord of Hexi after he conquered Beyond the Great Wall, he rarely took the initiative to participate in court meetings. Occasionally, he had to attend due to important events...

Just like after returning from the southern tour, it has been ten days, and Yingzheng is pulling all the civil and military officials every day to discuss several upcoming state affairs.

But the only thing is that there is no sign of Qin Mo!
"Meet Prime Minister Qin~!!!"

All civil and military officials bowed their hands in salute.

Qin Mo got off his horse and returned the salute: "You don't need to be too polite, just do it yourself."

"Here!"

The civil and military officials bowed again.

Qin Mo handed over the sweaty white horse to the guards at the palace gate, walked towards the palace gate where all the officials were at the front, and then unknowingly took out a few big meat buns, and began to feast on them.

Old Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Feng Quji and others nearby, smelling the aroma of the meat buns, salivated but were speechless.

No wonder he urged the horse to gallop just now, he probably just woke up, fearing that he might not be able to make it to the court meeting, he came here in a hurry without even having breakfast!
"Are you hungry? Would you like some food?"

Seeing several people staring at him, Qin Mo was embarrassed to eat any more, and said humbly.

Feng Jie had been in the Baiyue Army for a long time, and he had acquired some reckless habits to some extent, and he hadn't changed it yet, so he was not polite when he heard the words, and he reached out to take a big meat bun and started eating.

Laowangguan, Feng Quji and the others originally wanted to decline, but it can be seen that Feng Jie had already picked it up, so they had to pick up a tasting each.

It's not so embarrassing when everyone eats together!

"Well, why don't you see two old generals, Wang Jian and Wang Ben?"

Qin Mo looked around and asked curiously, "Could it be that the two old generals have started to hibernate again?"

Didn't Lao Wang Ben clamor that he was going to Liaodong County to expand the territory and earn a feudal state for his family?

Why did you get scared again when you returned to Xianyang?

Feng Quji explained with a solemn expression: "It's not that the father and son are hiding, it's really that the old general Wang Jian is old and weak. He fell ill recently, and Wang Ben is taking care of him at home."

Qin Mo was taken aback when he heard the words, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

According to the original trajectory, Old Wang Jian had indeed arrived long ago, and he left at the right time.

Just after the reunification of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng had just granted him the title of Marquis of Che, and before he had warmed up, the old man went home on a crane, which was almost as if he had not been awarded a reward.

Therefore, in order to reward him for his contribution to the Great Qin, Yingzheng specially allowed his grandson Wangli to inherit the title of Marquis of Wucheng intact, and he is still a Marquis of the same family.

The old Wang Jian at that time probably died without regrets!

But now, Old Wang Jian might be a little bit reluctant to die...

Because Yingzheng has agreed to Lao Wang Ben to go to Liaodong County to open up the territory of Daqin.

With old Wang Jian behind his back to make suggestions, maybe the old son Wang Ben could really earn the Wang family a feudal kingdom in Liaodong.

What is passed on to the descendants at the time of introduction is not the title of title and food, but the title of monarch!

"Has Xia Wuji gone to see it?" Qin Mo asked with a frown.

"I went to see it. I have been staying at Wang's house for the past few days and have not come out. I don't know what happened."

"After that, let's go see the old general together?"

"That's fine, I'm going too... His Majesty has issued an edict, if the civil and military officials dare not go, it is disrespect to the emperor!"

Lao Wang Jian is Ying Zheng's teacher.

By the time everyone was talking, they had already finished eating the buns, and the palace gate creaked open.

Qin Mo straightened his clothes, put his hand on the hilt of his sword and entered first.

Behind him, civil and military officials were divided into two classes, and they followed each other step by step.

……

Later, the main hall of Qin Palace.

"Minister, please pay respects to His Majesty the First Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~!"

Qin Mo took the lead and led all the civil and military officials to pay homage to Ying Zheng, who was at the top of his majesty's steps, and Fu Su, who was sitting at the bottom.

"Excuse me, gentlemen!"

Ying Zheng raised his hands in vain to let the civil and military officials accept the courtesy, but then he looked at Qin Mo, who was on the rank of His Majesty, and said in surprise: "The sun came out from the west this morning, and Qin Qing actually came to attend the court meeting? Or the morning court meeting!"

Qin Mo: "..."

What about the court meeting, shall we be more serious?

The civil and military officials probably didn't expect that Ying Zheng would tease Qin Mo on such a solemn occasion. After a moment of stupefaction, Qi Qi couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing: "Puff ha ha ha..."

Qin Mo is quite the boss, and he really doesn't do his job properly.

But to be complained by the king at the great court meeting is probably the first in Xia Shang history!

After everyone laughed for a while, the hall finally became quiet.

Ying Zheng also held back his laughter, and gradually said solemnly: "I want to promulgate the reform of the central government system, the law on the evaluation of officials, and the selection and appointment of officials today. What do you think?"

This is to let the king explode as soon as it comes up.

The only trace of noise in the hall disappeared instantly.

The reform of the central government system and the evaluation method of officials are related to the future and destiny of all officials in the Great Qin Dynasty, and no one can be nervous.

Especially those who choose officials and appoint officials, all civil and military officials have tried their best to inquire in the past few days, but there is still no clue.

I don't know what kind of regulations it is, whether my nephew can gain an advantage in it!
"We assist the government, Your Majesty is in charge, and make a decision with one word..."

Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Qin Mo had no choice but to put on the prime minister's airs again and speak first.

All civil and military officials came back to their senses suddenly, and then they all raised their hands together and said: "It's all up to His Majesty's decision!"

Ying Zheng nodded lightly, and said loudly: "If that's the case, then it will be promulgated."

"The reform of the central government system and the law on the evaluation of officials, all ministers have participated in the addition and revision, so don't waste time reading it."

As he said that, he looked at Fusu who was kneeling down and said: "The prince will select officials and appoint officials, and read it to all the ministers~!"
